Estimated one-time setup costs are approximately $1,380,000 driven by containment buildout and initial R&D/medical stabilization; recurring annual costs are approximately $10,216,000 driven primarily by staff wages and large contingency/reserve allocations (insurance and decommissioning reserves).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.2M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine operations and no major incidents; all recurring systems funded at planned levels.
no activations routine maintenance scheduled research and training
🚨 Minor Incident $10.4M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Single external activation or containment-adjacent incident requiring off-site response, victim recovery and limited cover-story/cleanup.
single external activation one victim recovery small-scale scene cleanup and legal/cover response
🚨 Major Incident $12.7M/yr
3.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline
Significant breach or external fatalities requiring large-scale cover-up, multiple deployments, extended legal response and potential regional coordination.
multi-victim external fatalities major breach of primary containment extended media/government exposure
